Where it Began
The Islam religion began in Mecca. It was founded by Muhammad either in the late 400s or early 600s.
Islam began in Saudi Arabia (Mecca and Medina city) when phrophet Mohammad first received vision from Allah through the angel (Jibril or Gabriel) in Hira cave. The first vision that Mohammad received, known as surah Al-Alaq, was when the angel asked him to "Read in the name of Allah". Mohammad couldn't read, but with Allah's help, he could read. That's when Mohammad knew that through surah Al-Alaq articles, he was a phrophet and Islam began, which makes all the old religions which are not, perfect to be perfect in one name, Islam. The Qur'an contains all the information that people should know to live their life the right way. The Qur'an is life guidance for Islam people where we can find Allah's regulation to get the best quality for their life.
Religious Practices
They Shave the babies head, then weigh the hair and how ever much the hair weighs then thats the value of how much they give it in gold to the poor. The Islam people must pay tribute to Mecca at least once in their life time. They all must wear the same thing which is a white robe
to know that they are equal people.
* Main Beliefs
One god Allah. They are very strongly opinionated about their
religion, they believe in angels.
They also believe in books sent by god,the sacred book is called
the Qur'an it is the word of
Allah revealed to his prophet Muhammad.
They also believed that no one can write it
as perfectly as they say that Allah did.
Their Gods They only have one god, Allah, he was the person that told muhammad
to go to his people and tell them that he was there but when he
got back he was gone,
Allah showed muhammad the Qur'an he was amazed
by the beauty of a book and the illustration.
Islam is a natural faith, a religion of responsibility, purpose,
balance, discipline, and simplicity.
To be a Muslim is to live your life remembering God and
striving to follow His merciful guidance.
Sacred Writings There are two kinds of sacred writings. there is the Sharian and the Qur'an.
The Qur'an is the book or scroll that Allah showed to his prophet Muhammad.
There are two main sacred texts in Islam: the Qur'an (or Koran) and the
Hadith (or Hadeeth).
The Qur'an is the most sacred text,
as it is believed to be the literal word of God as revealed to Muhammad.
The Hadith is a secondary text
that records sayings of Muhammad and his followers.
These two texts form the basis for all Islamic theology,
practice and Sharia (Islamic law).
